Upgraded and New Programming Functions
Linear/Gradient Flow Rate Ramping
Linearly ramps up or down the flow rate. The pump will deliver a smooth, linearly increasing or decreasing, flow rate as defined by
the starting flow rate, ending flow rate, the total pumping time, and direction.

Time
The Linear Flow Rate function is specified by using two Linear Functions
, in two consecutive Program Phases, defined by
four parameters:
1) Starting flow rate
2) Ending flow rate
3) Total time, expressed as "Hours : Minutes : Seconds : Tenth Seconds"
4) Pumping direction
The Linear Flow rate function is entered as follows, in two consecutive Pumping Program Phases:
Time is entered using the "Volume" key. The "min" minutes LED will be lit when time is displayed.
The units and pumping directions of the starting and ending flow rates must be the same.

Reciprocating Pumping for Auto-Refill Applications
The Reciprocating Pumping function will continuously reverse the pumping pumping direction at the end of the progammed dispense
volume. This function is setup the same as the Rate function. Set the rate, dispense volume and pumping direction.
After the set Target Volume is dispensed (or withdrawn), the pumping direction is reversed and the pump will withdraw (or infuse) the
set Target Volume. If the pumping rate is changed, the pump will continue pumping at the new rate when the pumping direction is
reversed.
With the addition of a dual check valve on the syringe, this function can be used to create an auto-refill system.
With the addition of a second pump, attached to the first pump with the control cable, CBL-DUAL-3, the dual pump plumbing kit,
P-DKIT, and the setting of the Reciprocating communications mode, a continuous infusion system can be setup. One pump will
always be infusing while the other pump is refilling.
RS-232 Remote Support:
Reciprocating function command: FUN REC
Base Pumping Rate and Volume
The Base function operates identical to the RATE function, except that the BASE Function's Rate and Volume will be used to override
the settings for subsequent RATE functions. This will allow the user to make modifications to the Rate and/or Volume settings in one
place, instead of having to make edits to each RATE function in a program individually.
RS-232 Remote Support:
Base Rate function command:
FUN BAS
Increment and Decrement Functions
The INCR and DECR functions have been modified from previous versions to pump for a period of time instead of volume dispensed.
The dispense time is set using the "Volume" key and is expressed as "Minutes : Seconds". The "min" minutes LED will be lit when
time is displayed.

Increment function command:
FUN INC
Decrement function command:

Stall Event
“Stall Event” allows a Pumping Program to relieve the pressure on a syringe after a pump stall by jumping to a Phase that reverses the
pumping direction.
“Stall Event” creates a background event interrupt trap for a pump stall. If the pump stalls, the Pumping Program will continue
execution with the Program Phase ‘nn’ defined by the “Stall Event” function. After the pump stops, the “Stall” message is cleared and
the Pumping Program continues execution at the Stall Event Phase defined by parameter ‘nn’.
After a “Stall Event” trap is executed, the event trap is cleared. The “Stall Event” function needs to be set again to trap another stall.
“Stall Event” is independent from the standard “Event” and “Event Square” functions.
The “Event Reset” function will clear the “Stall Event” trap along with any other Event trap.

Program Sub-Routine Return
The “Return Function” is paired with Pumping Program Functions that cause the Pumping Program to branch to a different Program
Phase number. When executed, the "Return Function” causes the Pumping Program to continue Program execution at the interrupted
Phase (for Event Functions) or next Program Phase after the paired Program branch function. This changes the Program Branch
function into a Program Sub-routine call.
Program Branching functions affected are:
Functions that return to the next Phase:
JP:nn
Jump unconditionally to Program Phase 'nn'
IF:nn
Conditional jump if the Program Input pin is low
Event functions that return to the interrupted Phase:
ET:nn
Set a background conditional jump on an event falling edge to Program Phase 'nn'
ES:nn
Set a background conditional jump on any event edge to Program Phase 'nn'
These functions will operate normally, but when the next RET function is executed after the Program Branch function, program
operation will return to the Program Phase immediately following the Phase where the Pumping Program most recently branched
from, or the Program Phase that was interrupted for events:
IF:nn, JP:nn
After one of these functions cause a Program Phase Branch to Phase 'nn', a RET function will return the Program to the Phase
following the function that caused the most recent branch, thus converting these Pumping Program branch functions into program subroutine call functions.
ET:nn, ES:nn
These functions create a background Event trap. When the Event trap is triggered, the Pumping Program immediately jumps to
Program Phase 'nn'. A RET function will return to the Program Phase that was interrupted by the Event trap. NOTE: When the
Pumping Program returns to the interrupted Phase, the Program Phase starts over and not at the point that was interrupted. For
example, if the interrupted Phase specified a pumping volume, on return, the entire pumping volume will be dispensed, not just the
remainder of volume from the point of interruption.

Press and hold the "Program Function" (Volume) key while turning on power to the pump. This will pre-load the Continuous
Pumping Program. See below for details.
In addition, this will set the pump’s RS-232 communication to Continuous pump control with a second NE-1000X syringe pump.
Cable CBL-DUAL-3 is required to control the second pump.

The continuous pumping mode eliminates the problem of flow rate drop-off that is
continuous syringe pump systems where one pump is refilling the syringe while the
then they switch directions.
typical with
other infuses, and
In this system, the refilling pump refills at a faster rate than the infusing pump giving it time to prime the
syringe, then it pauses and waits for the infusing pump to empty.
Then, when the pumps switch directions, the refilled pump is primed and starts infusing at the set rate
immediately. Additionally, an overlap can be set, whereby the refilled syringe begins infusing before the
infusing pump is completely empty.

Maintains a constant total flow rate between 2 syringe pumps. A gradient (Linear function) dispensing
function is programmed into the Master pump. The secondary pump will be automatically programmed with
the inverse of the Master pump’s gradient function. The sum of the two pump’s flow rates will be a constant.
Both pumps will increase and decrease pumping rates in tandem.
2 Modes of Operation
- Single cycle: Single ramp up or ramp down, then stop.
Set TTL setup setting RUN.0
- Continuous cycle: Ramp up, then ramp down, and repeat continuously.
Set TTL setup setting RUN.1
Alternating Pumps Mode (Enhanced Features)
Pump 2
Pump 1
Creates a semi-automated continuous infusion system using pre-loaded syringes.
The infusing pump will automatically start the alternate pump when the Pumping Program stops.
A Pause Function at the beginning of the alternate pump’s program will delay the start of pumping.
The empty syringe can then be manually replaced during the infusion of the alternate pump.
Set both pumps to Alternating communications mode (“ALtr”) to create a continuous system.

•
Starts alternate pump after either a Pause function or when the program stops.
Set the TTL setup setting: RUN.0, (Default setting)
Alternate pump will start on execution of Pause function.
Set the TTL setup setting: RUN.1
Alternate pump will start when the Pumping Program has stopped.
•
Overlap start of alternate pump.
Pumping Program Function: OUT.0
Immediately sends start to alternate pump when OUT.0 function is executed.
Allows the creation of an overlap between the infusing and the alternate pump to allow the alternate pump to
prime the syringe before the infusing pump stops.
Simultaneously start both pumps: If Phase 1 is set to function OUT.0, the alternate pump will immediately
start when the Master pump starts.
Overrides sending a start command to the alternate pump when the pump stops.
•
Stop Alternating Mode
Set TTL Trigger Mode to “Off”. When trigger is set to “Off”, start command will not be sent to alternate
pump.
Within a Pumping Program, the trigger mode can be changed with the Trigger Off function: (“tr:of”). This
allows a Pumping Program to limit the number of times that the alternate pump will execute its Pumping
Program.
